Manage Registrant Categories
Within this screen you have the ability to create, update and delete Registrant Categories and Groups of Registrant Categories. When you are creating events with Registration, Pricing or Both, you must assign at least one Registrant Category. While you manage those categories within this screen, it is during the process of creating/editing events where you will assign them to a given event.

The screen is split into two sections: Age Applied and Member Selected.



 


Age Applied Registrant Categories

Within this section you can create, update and/or delete Age Applied Registrant Categories and Groups of Age Applied Registrant Categories. These differ from their Member Selected counterparts insofar as they require a Maximum Age which is used to determine the oldest registrant that can be assigned to the category. These are best suited to events where you want to restrict attendance by age and/or the price applied to a registrant is dependent upon their age.

When creating an Age Applied Registrant Category, you are required to provide both a name and a maximum age. The name and maximum age must be unique.



Once a category is created, you will have the ability to assign it to a group – either one that already exists or a new group you want to create on the fly. Assigning Registrant Categories that are often used together (e.g., Child, Adult and Senior) to a group affords you the ability to add these categories more quickly when creating/editing an event. To add a category to a group, click on the ‘Group’ link within the Add To column immediately to the right of the category name. Upon doing so, you will have the ability to add it to an existing group or to a new group. Alternatively, if you want to create a new group, click on the ‘New Group’ button.

 


When you assign Age Applied Registrant Categories to an event, the minimum age for an assigned Registrant Category is determined by the maximum age of the Registrant Category with the next highest maximum. For example, you’ve created an event and you have assigned the following Age Applied Registrant Categories:

1. Child (maximum age 17)
2. Adult (maximum age 64)
3. Senior (maximum age 110)

In this scenario, the Senior category has a maximum age of 110 and a minimum of 65 (as defined by the Adult category), the Adult category has a maximum age of 64 and a minimum of 18 (as defined by the Child category), and the Child category has a maximum age of 17 and minimum age of… The minimum age for the Age Applied Registrant Category is defined by the minimum age specified at the event level.

 

 
 


Member Selected Registrant Categories


Within this section you can create, update and/or delete Member Selected Registrant Categories and Groups. These differ from their Age Applied counterparts insofar as they do not require a maximum age. Member Selected Registrant Categories are most useful in scenarios where attendance at an event is not restricted by age nor is the price applied a function of the registrants’ ages. These are best suited to events where registrants can select among various packages when attending an event – for instance if the event is Golf Outing and a Dinner and registrants can opt among Golf Only, Dinner Only or Golf & Dinner.

When creating a Member Selected Registrant category, you need only provide a name, however, that name must be unique.


 

Once a category is created, you will have the ability to assign it to a group – either one that already exists or a new group you want to create on the fly. Assigning Registrant Categories that are often used together (e.g., Golf & Dinner, Golf only and Dinner Only) to a group affords you the ability to add these categories more quickly when creating/editing an event.  To add a category to a group, click on the ‘Group’ link within the Add To column immediately to the right of the category name. Upon doing so, you will have the ability to add it to an existing group or to a new group. Alternatively, if you want to create a new group, click on the ‘New Group’ button.
